Spoke to them today. Don't panic. Its an American cover their ass press release. Basically all they know is that its likely to be excess loctite which would cause the trigger to not function. So if your rifle shoots ok, its going to be ok. However, they have asked Remington for more info and will put out a notice in all hunting press once they know more.

Covering your ass from the lawyers is an American fact of life. Spill hot coffee in your lap and sue the coffee shop. Become a millionaire and move to NZ. Hmmm, maybe this trigger thing is not as bad as I thought.:thumbsup:
Funny, I currently have 3 700's in the safe(one isn't mine). Two are effect and one is not.
In doing the check for the one not effect, I was given a 20% off promo code for the clothing brand. Had a look and they don't ship out of the USA, so waste of time. I suspect the 40% some of you are talking about is for the same site that doesn't ship to NZ.
Anyway, once the trigger has been disassembled polished and put back together, the loctite issue pretty much goes away.
The more interesting thing is the rifle that is not effected(according to there site) had an issue with a "hang fire" on first firing. it release about 5 seconds after pulling the trigger. This was brand new at this stage. Took the stock off and scrubbed the factory grease and shit out. No problems after that. Again have had a smith strip and polish it since.
I took my trigger out when I brought are new one and put in the old 700 trigger.
More from Remington.....

Looks like they are sending out new triggers. No word on how to get them though.
Outdoor Brands are remaining very quiet, even to the point of removing their Facebook page.

Would be just as easy to buy a timney trigger and be done with it
Toby I can see a poo70 on its way via the forum server just as a warning shot!:(
Huh?

See if your Model 700™ or Model Seven™ Rifle is affected Remington Recall
You must then type in your rifle serial number, you will then be asked what country you are in, select New Zealand, this will then refer you to the New Zealand Remington Recall website. Remington NZ will then send you a PDF form to fill out and they will contact you when your trigger replacement is available
If you are in the South Island you will then be referred to us, however
you must do this process first.
Note : If your trigger has this mark (as per the picture) on the bolt release then your trigger has already been replaced

Thanks @cambo I have received no notification from Remy after following all instructions. But are happy with my rifle and seen a nick in the area you mentioned so that will do me.:) Wasn't quite centre but I'm not complaining.:wtfsmilie:Quote:

I don't think mine has been replaced either @hunter308 but I'm frigged if I know how I could of managed that nick in the bolt release.
I have been wondering that myself. I have had no further contact since the initial email response from the international site.Quote:

Any might just put a Timney in if it takes to long to sort its self out. I have probably put 200 rnds through it without fault, so not sure what the problem is
I have never experienced a problem with mine either Dawg. I am happy to just wait for the next move by Remington and use it in the men time if it is the right choice rifle for the day.
Fair enough Rushy i might do the same! Although i bet Timney are enjoying the extra demand from everyone else!! Tempting...
I never got a response from the yanks either after filling in the forms
I didn't either, but like I said my trigger has given me no issues so far but I will be saving for a timney trigger to replace the factory one at some stage but not straight away.Quote:

Rifle basics are good triggers... As are timneys.. To say one is better than the other is like the Holden salesman telling you Fords arnt as good as the cars he has for sale. Tomarrrto, tomaaaaaaato... :)
Edit: $260????Quote:
